I used 4 gallons of Gillespie #24087 when I painted mine back in 05'. Did it pretty much like you are describing, I left the cab on the frame and removed the fenders, hood, cargo box. I was using a nice high volume/ low pressure paint system.

To convert from 24v to 12v you just simply replace the 24v bulbs with 12v bulbs. It's just that simple. Here is a conversion list; http://www.m715zone.com/vb/pages/manuals/BulbConversionChart.pdf

You can get them through WeeBee Webbing in Ohio, http://www.odcloth.com/hardware/hardwareinfo.html They will be the same as the original ones the military used. http://www.odcloth.com/

Bump, any Michigan guys want to help out the vets?

I know this is kind of last minute for most folks, but I was just asked to help try and get some military vehicles for display during the dinner and awards ceremony for the http://www.heroesonthedunes.com/ event being held at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan on Saturday August 6th. This is...

I've done several over the years and they can be a blast as everyone wants to check out the military vehicles and ask questions and I let everyone crawl all over the trucks. It definitely upsets some of the car collectors as people tend to gloss over their stuff to get over to check out the MV...

I believe you are seeing the original yellow primer wearing through in spots. Here is what it looked like on my 67' M725 as I was sanding it down. Lusterless Forest, then OD 24087, then yellow primer, and finally bare metal.

Welcome from the west side of Michigan, as I'm at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. What part of the mitten are you from?

Thanks everybody for all the support! Here is a little eye candy for the ending!

I just want to take the time to thank everyone who has voted so far, and I'm truly humbled by the number of votes for my 67' M715. This Jeep was the start of my green iron obsession starting in 2004 which had led to my current motorpool of 5 trucks and a trailer unit that I have restored. And...

Yep, not original. I would trace the wires to see where they go to figure out what the switch controls.

I laughed when they sandblasted the CARC trailer with no protection on and then even made a comment about how nasty it was breathing the dust. I was good luck with that you idiot. The show is so fake it's not even funny, like when the guy makes fun of the main guy for having such a small penis...

Thanks everybody, here is my 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 that I bought in Sept. of 2004 and began restoration in Dec. of 04' and rolled out of my shop April of 2005 all finished. Restoration was a complete frame off and every piece of metal was stripped to bare metal. This was my first MV and has...

Congrats, the good news is that if the cab is the only thing in bad shape, there are many common parts in the cab of the M715 from the Jeep Gladiator pick-ups. Things like floor boards, rockers, cab corners and even the door shells are the same or can be modified slightly to fit the M715. As...

Congrats on a successful run. Truck looks great.

Nice find, the smoking maybe a hardened valve seal if the truck has not been run for several years, and may soften back up some once it gets some oil and heat going back through it. As for down on power, I would pull and check the plugs to see if one is fouled due to the oil and do a...

The pin should be there. I have used the platform mount on my A&K M60 and found that the front arm where it hooks into the open slot on the bottom of the handguard to no line up. But it was an easy fix as all I did was weld an extra tab of metal to the front hook on the arm so that it reached...

Bob, I don't know why it is that you always seam so negative towards everyone's ideas here. If you think the M715 is such a horrible truck that has so many faults, then why do you keep posting about them. These trucks were designed to travel at military convoy speeds of 45mph all day long with...

He'll be just fine. I believe the last MVPA Cross Country Convoy had a max speed of 45mph. These trucks will run that speed all day long.
